Chapter 26 Taking Away the Little Wolf Cub
After another forty minutes, Violeta paused on a small hill, gazing into the distance where a red g
marked the finish line.
“See that? The finishing line is just over there. A mere two minutes, and we’ll make it.”
“That’s a relief!” Kaylee plopped down on the ground, massaging her tired legs.
Meanwhile, Jezebel, seated nearby, heard a soft whimper. Turning, she spotted a furry little pup in the
grass.
“Look! A puppy!” Little did she know she mistook the wolf cub for a domestic pup.
Eagerly, she lured the cub with her food and water, cradling it in her arms.
The cub’s whimpers caught Violeta’s attention. “What’s that sound? Did you guys hear it?”
Kaylee swiveled around and spotted Jezebel trying to stash the wolf cub in her bag.
“Hey, Jezebel! What on earth are you doing?”
Jezebel hesitated. “I don’t know who left this little guy here. I felt sorry for it, so I considered taking it
back with me.”
Upon hearing Jezebel’s harebrained idea, Violeta was on the brink of unleashing a torrent of curses.
“Are you out of your mind? That’s not a puppy! It’s a wolf cub! Didn’t I warn you? There are wild wolves
in the mountains!”
During the hike, Violeta was on this wild wolf hunt, carefully looking for any traces of those creatures in
the area
You’d see wild wolves in Mount Wilson from time to time, but not often. People would hike up the
mountain regrly to scare them off, so the chances of bumping into them were pretty low for regr
folks.
But guess what? In Violeta’s dream team, Jezebel turned out to be a bit of a scatterbrain. She mistook
a wolf cub for a fluffy little puppy! Seriously?
Ordinary dogs, guided by their instincts, would steer clear of wolf territory upon catching a whiff of their
distinctive scent. The fact that Jezebel failed to discern the difference is a perplexing twist in this wild
tale!
“Dogs wouldn’t dare sniff around where wolves have left their scent!”
“What!?” Jezel
Jezebel’s hand did a shaky dance, causing the wolf cub to hit the ground with a sad little whimper.
Exasperated, Violeta grabbed her bag with one hand and said, “Hurry up! We must pick up the pace
now!”
Knowing that Mama Wolf might show up following the scent trailter, the girls didn’t dare to dawdle.
hastily trailing behind Violeta
The little wolf cub took up the rear, giving out a few whimpers before scampering along on its tiny legs.

Violeta’s face scrunched up, and just then, a distant howl from Mama Wolf sent shivers down the other
three girls‘ spines, making them pick up
the pace.
Sonya pointed fingers at Jezebel, “What the heck were you doing back there? Hugging the wolf cub?
Now, we’re all gonna end up wolf chow!”
Jezebel scowled. “I thought it was a dog… Why me me? Violeta’s the one who dragged us down
this path. It’s on her! We wouldn’t deal with wolves if we took a different route!”
Kaylee red fiercely at Jezebel, turning her head, ‘Are your eyes just for show? You can’t even tell a
wolf from a dog, and yet you’re ming Violeta? She already warned us about the wild wolves nearby!”

Violeta cut off their bickering. “Enough! Let’s keep moving! We’re almost there, and then we’ll be safe!”
Getting surrounded by a wolf pack wasn’t a joke.
Violeta might know how to run herself to safety, but she couldn’t guarantee the safety of these three
liabilities
The trio shut their mouths and followed Violeta, hustling to distance themselves from the wolves.
What would normally take twenty minutes in a rush took them only ten, fueled by adrenaline.
They hit the finish line, copsing onto chairs, letting the tension seep away.
The instructors, waiting at the finish line, saw the four emerge from the bushes like their lives depended
on it and hit the stopwatch, “Wow! Two hours and seventeen minutes, we’ve got a new record! But
why’d you guyse from that way? Everything cool? Come on, grab some water first!”
Jezebel and Sonya were going toin to the instructor about Violeta. Still, before they could say
anything, the head instructor spoke up, and their eyes widened, “What! We’re in first ce!?”
The instructor confirmed, “Yep, not only are you leading, but you also smashed the old record!”
“We broke the record!?” Jezebel and Sonya eximed together, their excitement making them jump up
and down.
“No way! Breaking the record means extra rewards, right? An extra ten grand on top of the original
prize money!”
The instructor nodded, “Exactly. So, you’re looking at sixty grand and a single–person dorm spot.”
“Oh my god!!!!” Kaylee was pumped, too, but she wasn’t as over–the–top as Jezebel and Sonya.
Instead, she nced at Violeta beside her and said, “Kudos to Violeta! We’d probably still be stuck in
the mountains without her leading the way.”
Violeta stayed quiet and took a seat to chill.
Things got hairy back there. If the wolf pack had caught them, rewards would be the least of their
concerns. Making it back alive would be the real worry.
Just as Violeta started to unwind, she felt a weird sensation in her feet and looked down.

Chapter 26 Taking Away the Little Wolf Cub
She was surprised because the little wolf cub tagging along had actually caught up!
Violeta thought she had left the cub behind, but this little critter was determined! It was using its stubby
legs and sniffing their scent to keep up!
It was no good.
‘Awuu!‘
“What’s that noise?” The instructor caught wind of the wolf howls and turned to look.
Kaylee nced over and quickly covered, “Sir, it’s just my phone’s ringtone.”
The instructor said, “Oh, I thought I heard a wolf howl. All the wild wolves in this mountain range have
been kicked out, so there shouldn’t be any roaming around. Wolves are pretty clever creatures. If they
catch a whiff of human scent, they won’t easilye after us unless they’re desperate for food.
Otherwise, they won’t risk messing with humans.”
Unless there were folks like Jezebel,cking somemon sense, actively taunting the wolves, these
animals would be even less likely to mess with them with such a big group trekking through the
mountains tonight.
Jezebel and Sonya were clueless about the whole situation. They were too caught up in their victory
high, forgetting about what happened earlier.
Violeta firmly grabbed the back of the cub’s neck and covered its mouth, ensuring it stayed silent.
In a low, serious tone, she warned, “Keep quiet! If you make a peep, I’ll shut you up.”
The cub cowered, tucking its tail between its legs, giving Violeta a pleading look with those big,
eyes.
Not knowing if it was lost or ditched, Violeta couldn’t risk the instructor finding out.
Silently, she sidestepped and sneakily tossed the cub into the bushes. “Go on. Move it!”
The cub tumbled in the foliage before bouncing back to Violeta, yfully nibbling at her shoe,
Right then, the instructor sensed something off and strolled over to Violeta.
“Hey, Violeta, what’s going on?”
watery
Violeta swiftly scooped up the cub, hid it behind her, and coolly replied, “Nothing, just taking a stroll and
enjoying the fresh air.”
Kaylee joined them and asked, “By the way, Sir, how much time has passed? Can I check the
stopwatch?”
“Sure, go ahead.”
Kaylee diverted the instructor’s/attention, and she and Violeta shared a knowing look like they were on
the same page.
Violeta tried ditching the cub a couple more times, but this little thing stuck to her like glue. It followed
her around like a faithful pup, sniffing her scent and tailing her.
